LIFE MAPPING WORKSHOP WITH PATTIE BELL HASTINGS @LOTTA STUDIO

Join Pattie Belle Hastings for a 2-hour immersion into mapping your life and mind through a writing and visualization process that she calls Lifemapping. 

This exercise is similar to a Brain Dump or Mind Sweep - where we will capture EVERYTHING that is on your mind right now, get it down on paper, and make it visual. Once everything is out in front of us, we can reflect on what the patterns and information reveal in order to move from this moment into the next with clarity and confidence. 

As you get the hang of this process, it can be done weekly, monthly, or whenever you are feeling overwhelmed by your life. We guarantee that you will be adding this technique to your productivity toolbox!

$20 donation is being asked for the workshop. 
To confirm your reservation please email pattiebelle@gmail.com
